Strawberry Sauce

You can call it yogurt.  You can call it pudding.  We call it yummy! You can use it on so many things!  We love it on granola, pancakes, and oatmeal.  We also love it plain. We even use it as one of the toppings when we make oatmeal bananas splits.  While the base is tofu, I don't think you'll be able to tell. Ingredients: 1 16 oz block of firm water-packed tofu 4 C (heaping) of frozen strawberries (can throw in other berries) 1/2 C honey 1/4 C canola oil (or other neutral flavored oil) 1 T lemon juice 1 tsp vanilla Instructions: Put all ingredients into a blender and run until completely smooth and mixed thoroughly.  Put into a sealed container and store in refrigerator for an hour or two.  It will get a bit thicker as it sits in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

Pineapple Tapioca

This has become our favorite jello substitute!  I think that you'll agree that it is yummy! Ingredients: 1/4 C minute tapioca 2 C canned pineapple, drained and reserved Pineapple juice and water to make 2 cups 1/3 C cane sugar or honey Instructions: Heat liquid to boiling, sprinkle in tapioca.  Reduce heat and simmer until tapioca is transparent, stirring frequently.  Remove from heat and add sweetener and salt.  partially cool, then carefully fold in fruit.  Chill.  

Easy Baked Tofu

This is one of the easiest recipes I've ever made!  Four simple ingredients...one great taste!  It is so super yummy that I could eat all the baked tofu just by itself. Ingredients: 1 lb tofu, 1/4 slices 1/4 C Bragg's Liquid Aminos 1 tsp chicken-like seasoning Salt-free seasoning Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine Bragg's and chicken-like seasoning in a small bowl and stir.  Dip the tofu slices into the Bragg's mixture and lay on a lined baking sheet.  Once all the tofu slices are on the baking sheet generously sprinkle the salt-free seasoning on top.  Bake in the oven for 50 minutes. Enjoy these in sandwiches, stir fry or salad.  They are even delicious plain!

Carob Peanut Butter No-Bakes

You don't have to feel too guilty when you can't eat just one!  As far as cookies go, these are pretty healthy!  And they also help satisfy that sweet tooth that kicks in every once in a while. Ingredients: 1/2 C honey 2 T carob powder 1/4 C soymilk 1/4 C earth balance 1/2 tsp vanilla 6 Tbsp natural peanut butter 1 1/2 C quick oats Instructions: Place the first six ingredients into a pan and melt down until completely mixed together.  Add the quick oats and stir well.  Spoon onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.  Stick into the freezer.  We love eating them right out of the freezer so you can just store them there.  At some point you probably want to transfer them to a tupperware container.
